I can crease things so sharp your grandmother's nose looks dull. :P<br />And polishing..yup I am so good at that.Rachel Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03161969464062031462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5754813035262036348.post-74015197650302534142009-10-28T23:19:28.828-06:002009-10-28T23:19:28.828-06:00Okay, Rachel P.

I am talking about ironing (which I thought you did), but I do know for sure you polished your boots to perfection. If I'm wrong, tell me personally so as not to embarrass me in public.<br /><br />Just joking, of course.Darlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07255532553760304422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5754813035262036348.post-42628716329853108252009-10-28T23:04:45.935-06:002009-10-28T23:04:45.935-06:00Ahem.

And most cadets ask their mother to sew it on lol.Rachel Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03161969464062031462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5754813035262036348.post-33871529768777879962009-10-28T22:26:34.437-06:002009-10-28T22:26:34.437-06:00At least you DESIRE to learn to sew, Rachel. I do...At least you DESIRE to learn to sew, Rachel. I don't. And I fully understand why your husband irons his own uniform. I haven't yet known anyone in the military (or even cadets) that doesn't because their uniform is something they are very specifically trained to take pride in. <br /><br />Thanks for commenting, Rachel.Darlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07255532553760304422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5754813035262036348.post-45268381392911413122009-10-28T13:54:34.358-06:002009-10-28T13:54:34.358-06:00I actually DON'T do the ironing in our househo...I actually DON'T do the ironing in our household. My husband wouldn't trust me to iron his uniform in a million years. ha ha!<br /><br />I do pretty much every other household chore though, with great satisfaction might I add.<br /><br />Don't feel bad. I don't sew either. When my mom asked me what I wanted for a Christmas gift last year, and I responded with "a sewing machine", (which was a completely honest answer since I had been wanting to try sewing!) she laughed at me!!! And not because it was too expensive or lavish, but because the mere thought of me sewing was hysterical to her. lol!!Rachel Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17900893007963636814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5754813035262036348.post-45765071727803354212009-10-26T09:06:02.987-06:002009-10-26T09:06:02.987-06:00I guess I wouldn't feel *guilty* if we both wo...I guess I wouldn't feel *guilty* if we both worked full-time (I mean at jobs out of the house). To be honest, Dave is just very determined to do whatever needs to be done and learn it if he doesn't know how. I'm not. If I hate something, I'm VERY sluggish about learning it.Darlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07255532553760304422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5754813035262036348.post-49969915284194154252009-10-26T07:56:00.200-06:002009-10-26T07:56:00.200-06:00Mel is the same.

He hems his own pants, takes in, lets out his pants, and other friends and son and has been known to help me with a pattern when I have been sewing. I would be afraid to take on his sewing jobs as I think he does a much better job than I would. He also irons his own shirts, does laundry and occasionally cooks. We both work full time.Mrs. Wizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11887886180747765784noreply@blogger.com
